Google has just announced a new free hosting service called Google Sites, which is now available for any registered Google user. This service was previously only available to businesses with specialty accounts.

Google Sites makes creating and sharing a group website easy and offers a variety of themes, and arrangements to help create your website. There is also the ability to integrate your Google Calendars, Mail, and Files with ease.

  • Single-click page creation
  • No HTML required
  • Customizable look and feel
  • Settings for accessing and sharing information
  • And it’s FREE!

Cheers,
Elcheapo

Definitely not a “bargain” the way most people here understand it. Internet is populated with free services everywhere already (posting bargains for FREE at OzBargain!)…

Scotty,

It is true that you find or use a lot of free service everywhere. As I posted below, google sites is new “free” offering from previously paid service. IMHO, Google site is way better from other free sites, massive storage (up to 10gb) is nowhere near any free hosting that you can get, you’ll also get the unrivalled fast and fully redundant mesh google servers around the globe.. etc..

Let’s see what others thinks :)

Cheers elcheapo

Well. Not really the way I am looking at it.

When Google Sites was launched in February this year, it was only available to the enterprise Google Apps users, and now it is available to standard Google Apps users — it is like a new feature that has become more available, but not really a previous paid product now becomes free. Standard Google Apps users still don’t get enterprise features nor support.

Thanks for your misleading Negative.

Get your fact straight mate,

Firstly,

This is new service offered by Google for previously “paying” business account. So basically this used to be a premium service which now offered for Free. If you don’t call this bargain, then what else?

Secondly,

Google offers unmatched “free” hosting. Okay, there’s geocities, and millions other “free hosting”, but honestly, what do you get from there? a tiny few hundred MBs space, “intrusive” pop ups and ads..

So, please check again before giving out negative vote

This is just google looking for more ways to harvest data.

It might have a zero dollar cost, but that doesn’t make it “free”.

Again, before you guys casting any more Negative votes,

please consider that from the point of view that this is a genuine free hosting, easy to deploy web site in just one click, a massive storage limit, google search integrated, ability to add many rich contents, and many more. Personally I don’t think any other “FREE” hosting service able to match.

TGIF!

Cheers elcheapo

I will give this FREE deal a go.

Well. So will I but I won’t vote here — I guess we all have different definition of what a bargain is (otherwise this site will be full of deals with hundreds of votes).

A service that I can use that I once had to pay for is now free……sounds like a deal to me, dont see why it needs a negative vote so will give you a postive for balance.

don’t give a damn what a deal is. As long as it’s useful for me then i’m happy. Thanks for posting, and just ignore those negative comments, something we have to endure once in a while.

I agree with Vinhlong’s comments that as long as it makes ME happy and is useful then its worth it! There are some helpful ‘bargains’ and some pure informative bargains! Atleast there is one place I go and find a BARGAIN and thats at ozbargain! I look fwd to all the varied things people post on here and love using ones that are applicable to me!Keep up the good work folks!
